spinoff diet thread ... negative calories!

hey anyone ever heard of the negative calorie theory?

there are certain foods, mainly fruits and veggies that contain fewer calories then it would take to digest them (depending on the speed of your metabolism) soooo in theory, you can eat all you want and loose weight!

there is no SOLID evidence to back this, but it makes sense (in theory)

here is a list of negative calorie foods - stock up and loose weight! let the snacking begin!


asparagus
beets
broccoli
cabbage
carrots
cauliflower

than k you...

when i start my internship i will be brining in snacks soi dont spend all my $$ on food...


thank you!

OOoooh I love A LOT of those foods!!!

also, I forgot to Add - this is only good when the foods are either uncooked or without adding things aka salt, oils, butter etc.

for things like turnips etc. you would have to cook them somewhat to eat them, but boiling is prob the best option!

I don't see chocolate and potato chips on there

yum yum!!!

I think some of the fruits have alot of sugar in them. You have to watch.

natural sugars which are easily metabolised, not like sucrose, fructose etc. that makes a huge difference. the sugars in fruit and candy are much different!
